The skylight shines in through the papered windows, and light and dust float in and out of it.

The two people in the last row of the lobby were enveloped in the floating light and shadow, far away from the crowd.

On one side is Guo Jia, who is mocking and dissatisfied, and on the other side is Yan Qing, who is silently drinking tea.

Even though most people have evil eyes, they don't have the courage to speak openly without fear of retaliation.

"If she is really innocent, ask her to confront us!"

Xue Laosan was not afraid of revenge, he pointed at Yan Qing and Guo Jia and shouted.

Guo Jia looked at Yan Qing and saw that she was also looking at him.

Guo Jia's heart moved, her expression relaxed, and she sat leisurely and poured tea, "I finally understand today, what is a rumor that is half true and false, and can make people believe it to be true."

Drinking a cup of tea to soothe his throat, Guo Jia did not give Xue Laosan a chance to continue to complain, "The storyteller in your store said that I was called by name to accompany others to have fun?"

"It's a good thing that General Yan is a woman. Otherwise, with your arrangement, I would have seven or eight words that I would not be able to explain clearly."

Guo Jia teased Yan Qing with a smile, "To be honest, when Mr. Jin said this, I almost doubted whether you have some special hobbies."

Yan Qing ignored her.

Guo Jia didn't pay attention. He rolled his almond-shaped eyes and looked at Xue Laosan, who looked ugly, "You said you have been following Uncle Wu for so many years, how come you haven't learned a single bit of the gentleman's virtue of being cautious in words and deeds? I heard some details.

, just made up a big show out of randomness.”

"I'm not afraid of embarrassment today. To be honest with you guys, I'm a fun person, but I don't have many friends that I get along with. I hit it off with General Yan, but I shamelessly dragged people out to accompany me.

.In your mouth, my innocence has been deceived?"

Guo Jia asked Xue Laosan funnyly, "Even if I am stupid, is my father also stupid?"

Xue Laosan was speechless.

At this time, everyone also realized that given how much Zhenbei Hou valued his daughter, even if Yan Qing was a special envoy sent by the emperor and wanted to harm Guo Jia, he, Guo Youning, would never let her have an easy time!

How could she follow Guo Jia and have fun all over the city so freely?

"You... this is all what you are saying, young lady. Who knows whether it is true or false?"

Xue Laosan retorted unwillingly, "What if you say this because you think she has a high status and are afraid of offending her? Then who knows?"

Guo Jia laughed angrily, "What are you talking about? To tell the truth, it means that I have succumbed to power? I am a daughter of a prince's family, but I don't have the backbone of a slave like you, the master bookkeeper?"

Xue Laosan's face changed, "Miss, you have really wronged me with what you said. Even if you lend me 200 courage, I wouldn't dare to belittle you like this!"

"And I have been freed from slavery and am now a civilian."

Xue Laosan defended himself in a low voice, which made everyone around him change their eyes.

"I've been freed from slavery. No wonder I'm a lot tougher."

Guo Jia smiled half-heartedly and said, "I remember that you owed a lot of foreign debt, so you sold yourself as a slave and worked in Uncle Wu's house. Tens of millions of taels of silver, most people rarely owe half of it in their lifetime, so you can pay it off now.

Already?"

Xue Laosan trembled, knowing that he had made a mistake, and hurriedly laughed and smoothed things over, "This is all because of Mr. Wu's kindness. Seeing that I am old and have been in the government for so many years, I have no merit but hard work, so I gave him this small shop.

, let me return to good health and retire.”

"Uncle Wu is really a good man."

Guo Jia praised.

"Yes, yes, Master Wu is really a kind person with a kind heart..."

Xue Laosan breathed a sigh of relief and was about to continue what Guo Jia said and praise the original owner, but Guo Jia didn't give him another chance.

"Uncle Wu is also kind-hearted, thinking that when General Yan comes back to Northern Xinjiang for the first time, he will immediately take over important matters such as border defense in Northern Xinjiang. If he is not familiar with the scenery of Northern Xinjiang, he may have made some omissions. That's why he left the general free and followed me everywhere.

Let’s take a walk and have a look.”

Guo Jia looked at Xue Laosan's frozen smile and said, "In your words, Uncle Wu's good intentions turned out to be the general's fault. Tell me, are you discrediting the general and slapping Uncle Wu in the face?"

?”

"this……"

"The things you did and the shame you brought to Uncle Wu are truly ungrateful and unjust!"

Guo Jia didn't give Xue Laosan a chance to interrupt at all, "You only see General Yan traveling around with me, but you don't know that we go to places unique to Northern Xinjiang. It's to learn more about the people of Northern Xinjiang.

How to live."

"You only saw that she abandoned her posthouse and moved into the Marquis' Mansion, but you didn't know that it was Uncle Wu's suggestion to invite her. In order to fulfill the friendship of the landowner, it was also so that documents that were not suitable to be taken out could be delivered directly to the general."

"You only see her leisurely all day long during the day, but you don't know that she often spends the whole night reading documents, just to know more about the Three Cities."

"You only see her leading the army to win the battle, and her glory is endless, but you don't know that when this battle is fought, you have to be careful about losing your head day and night!"

“Buying fame and fishing for reputation?”

"Do you really think that the soldiers in that military camp are all stupid roe deer, and you will give your merits to a girl who does not deserve her name?"

Guo Jia asked loudly, but Xue Laosan was speechless.

The people around were shocked by Guo Jia for a moment, and the entire lobby fell silent.

Guo Jia stopped talking and reached for the teapot, only to see Yan Qing hand over a cup of warm tea.

She wanted to say thank you, but she saw the snicker hidden in the man's eyes, which made Guo Jia glare at her.

I'm here trying so hard to clarify the rumors for her, but she just wants to watch the show as if it doesn't have anything to do with it?

"I came here to rest and listen to storytelling when I was tired from walking, but I didn't expect to meet someone who confuses right and wrong. It's really unlucky!"

Guo Jia shook the fan in his hand and drank tea angrily.

Xue Laosan walked away dejectedly with a dark face in the eyes of everyone in the lobby.

After Xue Laosan left, the eyes of everyone watching the show turned to Yan Qing and Guo Jia.

But the status of these two people is no better than that of Xue Laosan, and they would never dare to gossip in front of her.

So everyone turned their eyes to look for the few people who had previously agreed with Xue Laosan, but found that the ones who danced the most happily had also disappeared.

Thinking again about Guo Jia's previous words, everyone's expressions became even more exciting.

Small groups gathered together and whispered, their faces full of excitement at having discovered the secret gossip.

Eyes are shining!

So much so that no one listened to everything the storyteller said in the second half.

Seeing everyone turning their heads to look this way from time to time, Guo Jia moved closer and asked Yan Qing, who seemed to be fine, "Aren't you angry when someone arranges you like this?"

"Little trick, nothing to be angry about."

Listening to Yan Qingyun's calm words, Guo Jia didn't agree very much, "A lot of talk makes a fortune, but a lot of people tell the truth. Rumors are spreading everywhere, even in Mocheng, and sooner or later they will spread to Jingcheng and the North."

Even if you purge yourself, these rumors will definitely affect the attitude of the soldiers in the border towns."

"As a defender, if you are at odds with the soldiers, the consequences may be unpredictable."
